Citizenship and Immigration Canada (2002) Cultural Profiles Project. Available - http://www.cp-

Citizenship and Immigration Canada provides Host Program funding to non profit organizations to recruit Canadian volunteer hosts and match them with new immigrants to Canada. The purpose of the match is to assist the newcomer to adapt quickly to life in Canada as well as provide the host with an appreciation of the challenges that the newcomer faces. Each cultural profile provides an overview of life and customs in the profiled country. While the profile provides insight into some customs, it does not cover all facets of life, and the customs described may not apply in equal measure to all newcomers from the profiled country. [Note – Provides cultural profiles for about 100 countries in PDF format].

English.pdf

In any emergency, the response by governments and aid organisations can only be said to be successful when it has reached everyone in need. Those already marginalized by society – the elderly, women and girls, minority groups and people with disabilities – can become the most vulnerable in a time of crisis. Ethnicity, gender, language, religion, political opinions, national or social origin, economic condition are just some of the entrenched causes of discrimination that can compromise efforts to assist them. This year’s World Disasters Report aims to address this issue by examining how and why different groups are marginalized during humanitarian emergencies. This report is not an exhaustive examination of discrimination but rather an attempt to stimulate debate, and to encourage humanitarian organizations and governments to reassess their emergency planning and response to limit the effects of discrimination and its consequences.

International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters - http://www.usc.edu/schools/sppd/ijmed/

The International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters is published tri-annually during the months of March, August, and November. It is concerned with the social and behavioural aspects of relatively sudden collective stress situations typically referred to as disasters or mass emergencies. All aspects of the life history of such events, both actual and threatened, are examined including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities.

Examines the cultural differences between various races, and considers these in the light of a disaster occurring. Looks at contingencies in place to cope with this and also suggests strategies which may be implemented. [Note – Hardcopy available EMA library]

Perry, R. & Greene, M. (1982) ‘The role of ethnicity in the emergency decision making process’.

Sociological Inquiry. 52 (2), 306-334.

Although sociologists have studied for decades the process whereby citizens make emergency decisions in response to disaster warnings, very little attention has been given to understanding the role of ethnicity in this process. This goal is accomplished through pursuing three general

Examines the problem of communicating emergency information to communities which are multi-ethnic. A probability sample of flood evacuation warning recipients was taken from a small Western United States town with a large segment of Mexican-American citizens. The findings suggest that there is a need for studies which explore the warning response decision-making process used by minorities, examine the criteria on which minorities interpret warning message content, and review the ways in which minorities evaluate the validity and accuracy of any given message

Quarterly. 2002; 5 (4), 424-446. Available - http://pqx.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/5/4/424.pdf

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the recent development of the notion of “policing diversity” in England and Wales. In addition to outlining why policing diversity has become a preeminent theme in current debates about policing, the article explores central conceptual issues and argues that it does represent a fundamental break with long-standing notions such as “policing by consent.” However, it argues that, taken to its logical conclusions, the concept might raise serious problems for the police service.
